Asking for Self, Male, 42 years old, Karachi
I have tested fasting glucose today, and test result is 119 mg/dl. kindly advise.
you do first 1-Radom blood sugar and 2- HbA1c
repeat it again and get your Hemoglobin A1c test done
repeat these tests after six months if normal or prediabetes range
Make sure it was after 12 hours fasting, if yes then chk ur blood for HbA1c.
It's high if after 12 hr of fasting please check your hb a1c status
It's borderline diabetic report, you need to check HbA1c & 2 hour post meal sugar as well
Dear concerned
Single reading is not sufficient to label u as diabetic.
repeat fasting sugar and random sugar with normal routine diet. if they are still high, go for HBA1c for confirmation. The report numbers will decide the path of management. There is nothing to worry about. Diabetes is easily manageable.
best wishes.
